Abstract

Undoubtedly, the Book of Allah, Glorious Quraan in its inimitable style defies the minds and hearts. Both Fire and Heaven are mentioned as a binary connoting arousal of an interest in the case of reward and terrifying in the case of punishment, respectively. There is a phenomenon which attracts our attention in the Glorious Quraan as far as the address of terrifying is concerned. This is represented in the coupling of some verbs with the term Fire which is, in turn, set as a residence for unbelievers in Dooemsday. This, the present study, we aim at explaining the semantics of such a binarity. The study is divided into two major sections: section1 deals with the semantics of the verbs related to movement, and section 2 deals with the verbs related to torture. Such a division covers all the verbs coupled with the term Fire as mentioned in the Glorious Quraan.
